PEMCO/WASA Robert J. Handy Most Effective Administrator Awards

Established in 2002, these awards recognize outstanding Washington public school administrators. One highly effective superintendent, central office administrator, or building administrator will be selected from a small district (up to 500 students), medium-sized district (501–2,000 students), and large district (over 2,000 students).
A $10,000 award will be equally divided among the three winners. The award may be used for personal or professional growth and/or to support and disseminate information about a successful school or district program. The Robert J. Handy Most Effective Administrator Awards application process begins in mid-January and ends mid-March each year. Self-nominations or nominations by others may be submitted to Shari Parsons at the WASA office.
